Abstract
Once validated, the mathematical model was used to predict the performance of modules with higher membrane areas (up to 5 m2). The flat module resulted to perform better than the capillary one in terms of energy consumption/permeate flow rate ratios, the lowest value being 130 kW h/m3distillate for a 5 m2 membrane area, at 80 °C of feed temperature and 10 mbar of vacuum pressure.
